Summer and rooftops are pretty much synonymous in NYC, especially for the happiest hour of the day. Grab rounds of drinks at your favorite rooftop bar or lounge, such as Mr. Purple at Hotel Indigo LES, The Roof at Park South, Westlight at the William Vale, and any others where the drinks are strong and the prices are cheap(er).

Plus, proceeds from Cyclone tickets will go to the N.Y. Police and Fire Widows' & Children's Benefit Fund, known as Answer the Call for short, in honor of fallen NYFD Captain Vincent Giammona.

Set between the trendy Meatpacking District and stylish Chelsea, The Beach at Dream Downtown is complete with white imported sand where guests will feel as if they are at a true beach club.

The pool features a semi-translucent bottom, visible from the lobby lounge below. Guests can dine at the café which features a casual lunch and dinner menu with stand-out large scale cocktails such as a fresh Watermelon Fruit Keg and a 10-pound version of a Moscow Mule.

Just recently opened at the new Hotel Hayden in NYC’s Flower District, the Mykonos Blue Rooftop offers a unique rooftop experience that will make you feel as if you've stepped off the elevator straight onto the Greek island.

This Mediterranean oasis in northern Chelsea is perfect for Grecophiles (plus has impeccable views of the Freedom Tower) with a Mykonos-inspired design, a menu of Mediterranean small plates, and a curated drink menu featuring cocktails made with Greek spirits. Opa!
